Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Spent the weekend at the U of M campus in Minneapolis. Saw lots of people on bikes wearing facemasks. Saw a few fixed gear riders. I haunted the local bike shops in my spare time. One of the shops in Dinky Town had a really cool On-One il Pompino single speed. This one had flat handlebars. I think most have road bars don't they? Anyway, its a good thing it was too big for me. I don't need to spend $500 on a bike.

You have one, right? Or were you just joking and it flew right over my head.........
By the way, you look kinda cute on yours.............
And by the way Pinky P, I got my bike back from the railing of Hard Times, the good ole boys at the Lake Street Penn Cycle were nice enough to only charge me $30 to saw it off! Bastards!!!! And I used to work there too!!!!!!! Yes I'm a little bitter.

Off topic Pink P, but do you know if the kitchen manager will be in tomorrow? And if so, day or night? Pleasemeexcuseme about t-rock...

When I go to the U, it's always because of a tennis tournament at the Baseline. So, I always hang-out in Dinky Town. I only saw the usual lot of students on bikes. I did make it over to the Hub bike co-op on Saturday to troll for used frames. Got a stiff neck looking at the ceiling.
